It may also mean they just don't want to support it and/or haven't tested
it. Can't say what the truth is here, but Microsoft and the Money team have
several vested interests in not supporting combinations they view as
obsolete. Can't say as I blame them.

Mike,

My post was not directed to your situation. Sorry for the confusion
but I was not trying to suggest that you could install M07 or M+ on
Win2k.

Regards,
JB

Tried to install M2008 trial on a Win2K test machine. It would not install
and said it needed XP or later.

When one looks at system requirements for M2006, Win2K is listed. After
that, Win2K is not listed. Typically this means the software has features
that will not be compatible with Win2K.

Do you know of anyone running M2007 or M2008 on Win2K?

How can I determine this without going through the hassle of downloading
and trying to install? I guess I could try to install it on a test system
and see what happens.

The other frustrating issue is if one installs M2008, its online services
expire in 2 years. Then I find myself having to go through this again!

Thanks,

Mike

Didn't go looking for the M07/6/5/4 System Requirements, but the CPU minimum
was well below 1GHz not all that long ago. We all know how much Money has
changed since M05.

Might it not have less to do with "Win2k" and more to do with the
"machine"?

Are we talking "system requirements" compatible or "doesn't fall flat on its
face" compatible? (Can't say as I've tried any version of Money on my
remaining Win2k machine in quite some time.)

In light of the change from prior years' "Money 200x" to this year's
Money Plus", renewable subscriptions might not be far off.

Durn it ... Quicken 2008 is still compatible with Win2K. Looks easier to
learn a new package than upgrade the Win2K to XP and then upgrade
everything to Money 2008. I wish Microsoft would just allow one to
resubscribe to online services with the package they are using rather than
forcing a major software upgrade.

Does the EULA allow for installing on more than one computer?

Thank you for the confirmation of the W2K being left out.

The last Money version compatible with W2K was 2006 (v15).

If I read things correctly, Money 2008 will not work with Win 2000!

So, Money 2004 loses it online features and cannot be updated! I wonder why
my Money 2004 version on Windows 2000 pops up and offers to update??

Quicken?
